god damn, that's good looking. i'd love to have a go on one of those, but i think those pics should be in the other guitars picture thread.

while it is a new breed, it's definitely longscale.

Yes, it's all stock. And it's definitely longscale 8)

This guitar can sound almost like a bass and like a big bad guitar (tuned on a). That combination can give cool different sounds to our "normal" rockbandsound. In some songs i play it instead of my jazzbass. This moment we are recording our new album and i am very hot of experiencing with both - bass and baritone sounds...

Some pics from my cell phone of my Jagmaster. I didn't take any high res ones before because it looked like every other burst out there but I've got some coming tonight since I just finished up some mods.

retroCamera app for Android phones. Just messing around.

pardon the pink towel but working on a guitar on a glass desk didn't sound like a good idea at the time.

here we gooo


One of my issues is that my vol pot doesn't sit flush. It's a push/pull and it didn't say it was the longer kind anywhere that I saw. Live and learn. Knobs are cream but come out nasty colored because of the lights in my house.

The least flattering picture of a guitar ever:

Another beef I had was that the trem block hole didn't line up with the one on the stock trem. I suspect that the GFS replacement trems will line up just fine although I haven't verified that they fit this application.
Image

Here you can get an idea of how raised the knob is. This is NOT pulled out. It goes further out when pulled for coil split.

If its a 2-washer dealio on the pot, just screw the top one up higher.

That's exactly what it is. That had never occurred to me; I'm just noobing it up. I appreciate it because I was going to go nuts after a while.

just put some extra washers and/or nuts on the vol pot until it sits flush.

This is my first post so I thought I'd post this pic of my duo-sonic

(Does this count as a new breed? classic new?)

I should think so, it's not quite the same as the originals. You could have put it in the sticky below this too.

Nice guitar... so fun to play !!!

& Welcome ;)
